QTP @ Synchronization
Synchronization:
Synchronizing is the process of utilizing time lines / time periods until for a specific purpose
When you run tests, your application may not always respond with the same speed.
For example, it might take a few seconds:
- For a progress bar to reach 100%
- For a button to become enabled
- For a button to become disabled
- For a window or pop-up message to open
You can handle these anticipated timing problems by synchronizing your test to ensure that QuickTest waits until your application is ready before performing a certain step
Synchronization - Ways to synchronize the test
There are several options that you can use to synchronize your test:
— We can insert a synchronization point, which instructs
QuickTest to pause the test until an object property achieves the value you specify. QTP -> Insert > Synchronization Point
— We can use Sync method to utilize the synchronization until for a specific time
— We can insert Exist statements that instruct QuickTest to wait until an object exists
— We can use Wait to wait a specified amount of time before continuing the test.
— You can also use Waitproperty(“propertyname”)
— You can also increase the default Timeout settings in the Test Settings and Options dialog boxes in order to instruct QuickTest to allow more time for certain events to occur.
— QTP -> File > Settings > Run > Synchronization timeout
